I am not one to complain but the service here was absolutely TERRIBLE! The Sangria pitcher barely had any alcohol in it. We got a hookah which was okay as well but in the whole time we were their no one came to change the coals, so the hookah died out fast. And the cherry on top of the that was the service was the absolute worst. Our server dropped off our drinks and never checked up on us, meanwhile the servers that had the tables around us were being checked up on and asked if they needed anything. We had to ask another sever to get us our check, and on they add 20% automatic gratuity which doesn’t make sense cuz at the bottom of the check it says suggested tip and the percentages. The service barely deserved 10% Tbh. I ended up paying around $100 for hookah that barely lasted and sangria that tasted really watered down. We waited for the sever to come take check which she never did so i had to go give it to her myself of course! To which she gave me the wrong change so i had to go to her again to get the right amount. SO DISAPPOINTED!
Absolutely love this place! The staff is extremely friendly. We went there to sample Moroccan food before going to Morocco with our students (teachers here) and they had so many great contacts and recommendations for us. The food was phenomenal. Although it was quiet since it was a weird time on a Monday, we had an amazing time. Thanks so much and cant wait to see you again soon.
Ate here back in 2009, 10 years ago for my sweet 16 with my Mom and some friends from school. I got to dance since I belly dance and I had so much fun with everyone! The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly! Loved it!
Ordered the Chicken and veggie Tagine. It tasted fantastic despite burning my mouth for the first ten minutes. The lentil tapenade is excellent. The atmosphere is nice, although its cold during the winter. There was good music in all different languages. They have a limited alcohol list.
As soon as my wife and I walked in we immediately felt we were going to have some good drinks and a great hookah based off the decor and the atmosphere but unfortunately we were wrong. I understand we are in New York but $35 for a Hookah Is outrageous. The drinks were priced like every location we been too but when we received our drinks they were not topped off and were just okay. The Hookah had a burnt taste in less than five minutes so we asked to swap out the flavors which they did with no issue. Once they replaced it with a different flavor it too had a burnt taste in less than fifteen minutes. Alot of money spent but hardly any satisfaction.
Outstanding, delicious food! We had two tagines, one couscous, and the bastilla. Every single dish was delectable with a wonderful combinations of flavors. We probably had the best table in the place, right by the front door. The service was friendly and helpful. Strongly recommend.
We came with a Party of Five, and it took a little bit of time to even get water. We had a waitress who took our order mentally, and proceeded to get four out of five orders incorrect. Our dishes were brought out one at a time with as much as 30 minutes between them. It all, it took an hour and a half to get everyone served. The waitress was argumentative and full of excuses as to why she got the orders incorrect. The bread was very Bland, and as someone with culinary experience I can tell you the reason was they forgot the salt in the recipe. As a Moroccan, I can tell you that this is not at all a good example of our Hospitality or culinary arts. The only reason I am giving them two stars is that the manager served us a complimentary shisha, which is $40 on their menu. Not exactly a very Moroccan gesture, but it was a well received effort. The music was absolutely all over the place from Latin to rap to Modern.
Marisa was great! I had last minute birthday reservations for a party of 15; Marisa was more than welcoming and hosted us. She and Tagine were great. We all had a memorable time. I was so happy with her hospitality and she gave the birthday girl a bottle of wine as a gift on the house. Great food, service and belly dancing!!! We will be returning!
The food was very good. Lamb chicken and vegan. The staff was friendly, presentation was nice, they were good at what you would expect.The wine we ordered was really poor - undrinkable- but the sangria was good and mixing them saved the wine.Service was good but very staggered for a group of 16. However thats a lot of clay ovens!! Fortunately the plates are so hot that it didnt matter - the clay plates keep your food hot a long time!
The food is a little pricey but this is to be expected given the location. The service was phenomenal and the owner made us feel like we were right back in Morocco again. His personal service made the meal a hundred times more enjoyable. Come here for a long and relaxing meal, not a quick bite in a rush.
Such a cute place. Very accommodating. The food is not the best and the tagines which usually includes plenty of sides in other places only bring bread here. This place is amazing for drinks, hookah and appetizers. The entertainment is great. Definitely make this your late night spot after dinner.
Good food made to order, amazing ambiance with a very pretty belly dancer for entertainment. Although considering the prices they charge, Id like more than just a lonely quarter chicken with some gravy on my plate. Get the drinks! Theyre small but mighty!!
The hookah was nice, but I disliked everything else about this place, in particular, the attitude of the servers. The wine menu has no prices, and we had to ask for the price of the bottles. However, after we had purchased a bottle, they announced that the price was actually higher than they had said initially. This in my opinion is very bad etiquette. The music was too loud and the service very careless, although there were only two tables with customers. The final bill includes a gratuity of 20% and they ask for tips on top of that.
This places is a hidden gem in Manhattan. The vibe of the place, the drinks and also they got live music from different parts of the world. I was lucky to be in a Turkish music performance with belly dancers. It was amazing. If you have the chance to come I would recommend it.
- as a server myself, I can tell you that our server provided us with the most appalling services I have ever received in my entire life. She may be new though. Didnt seem like it though-complimentary bread came 15 minutes after we had sat down. She didn’t even ask us what drinks we wanted--deplorable decor.- we were escorted to the back of the restaurant where there is no lightning. Legit had to open my iPhone flashlight on to eat my dinner.-when the food came, it spilled while she was trying to lower it to the table. It was an accident, but she didn’t even come back to clean it up.-food was extremely good.-
I am a very frequent customer at this establisment and enjoyed my time here and their service. Unfortunately I had a very horrible experience last night involving the manager and waitress/bartender Marisa. I asked for a brand new hookah several times. Instead she opted to just change the charcoal and put it on another hookah that was left behind at the bar. When it came time for the bill she mentioned about the brand new hookah that was brought out to me when it fact it wasn’t even touched. She demanded for me to pay for it. If I refused I was no longer welcomed at their establishment. The way this was handled was done poorly. I even suggested to rewind the tapes but they did not want to. I hope other customers don’t experience what I experienced last night and get what they ask for.
Great service and great food. Both servers who worked there were very welcoming with great attitude. Food was just amazing. There was live music as well tonight which added to the atmosphere. Moroccan tea is a must try!
This place was AMAZING! a group of my friends went there yesterday night before heading back to Boston in the morning and we had a blast! The workers were delightful, the music was great and the atmosphere was just wonderful. They treated us like we were at home and checked on us every second to see if we were okay. Being that were in our early 20s its well known that we go clubbing a lot but this place was so much better than that and that says a lot! Id recommend this place to a lot of my friends.
Drinks are good, food is good. with a fun group. The experience is good! Has potential to be a 5 start place with just a little bit of tweaks.Hookah left a bit more to be desired and the place could do with some maintenance .So guys, you have your place for tonight., spend some money here.( Inquire if they have a show going on). It will be worth it.
I came in by myself on a Monday afternoon and was greeted by Hamid, the owner and chef of the restaurant. He suggested their homemade hummus as an appetizer and the chicken miezel as my main dish. IT was PHENOMENAL. The chicken was extremely tender and juicy and the hummus was smooth and rich. I cannot wait to come back for dinner. 5 STARS!!
The restaurant is down a couple stairs off 38th. As with most restaurants in the city, it looks small but is very long inside. It was a little awkward experience at first as I was the only person in the restaurant. There was a family when I first came in, but they left after a few minutes. The food on the menu all sounded fantastic. I asked the server for suggestions and settled on an olive platter appetizer and the beef short ribs tagine. The ribs were not as flavorful as I expected, but still very tender and very good. There were different kinds of squash and potatoes also in the pot.This may not be the best place if you are in a hurry. They do take their time serving you, but not necessarily in a bad way. I did arrive pretty late for dinner. There is a bar and there was a band that started playing around 10:30 as I was leaving.
The first thing that you notice when you look at the reviews for this restaurant is that they are either great or terrible. This is perplexing to me because my experience was great. I have read reviews that heavily criticized the service but I can say that this was some of the best service that I have had in a long time. We had a pleasant, attentive and well informed server. And it looked like others were getting good service as well. I read a review claiming that a gratuity was automatically added; that was not the case for us. The food was delicious, unusual, and reasonably priced. They brought out some very tasty complimentary bread with interesting sauces to dip it into. And we got some complimentary tea after dinner. How could anyone complain!?We went on Friday night and it turns out that this is the best night to go because of all of the entertainment that they offer. They had a great four piece band that played Mediterranean style music. It was very entertaining and professionally done even though the venue was small and cozy. Then they brought in belly dancers who were entertaining and interesting. The decor is exotic. They advertise entertainment at 8:00 but it was about 9:00 before the dancing started. I would suggest eating at 8:00 so you can stake out a good table and then hang around afterwards to drink and watch the show. It was not very crowded there and most of the seats in the front room had a good view of the dancing. Some patrons got up to dance with the performers. It was fun!There are a few things that people should know however. They had a male belly dancer who was obviously gay. This was not of concern for us and we found him to be an excellent dancer but if you were offended by that kind of thing you should know that it does occur here. Also, there are people around you smoking hookah. I am a non-smoker but even so this didn’t bother me. In fact we thought it smelled kind of good sometimes.We were visiting New York for the week and I think it would be shameful and pathetic if you came here and ate at places like Bubba Gump’s or Applebee’s. If you really want to experience the local culture, then you should eat at places like this. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Most of the people there looked like locals, so tourists either haven’t heard about this or are leery about going. Either way, it’s their loss.
Best Moroccan restaurant in town. Delicious and fresh food. I was blown away by there service. I would recommend it to anybody looking to taste some exclusive cuisine in midtown. Will be back!
The Sat staff was nice to us dancers. The Tues staff cannot stand us being there in the restaurant, eventhough its dance night. Food is good and so are drinks, its the staff that makes one want to stay or not
The place is awful. I would be ashamed to call this food Moroccan. The decor is nasty and filthy. Save your money and go to McDonalds! The place is terribly cheesy and does not capture the true essence of Morocco. As well, we ordered tea, but we had to send it back 3 times because it tasted like water. Even the third time, the tea tasted disgusting. Our main dishes were 2 tagines. The meat was tender, however, the sauce was very fatty and tasteless (it even started to harden due to how much lard there was!). Oh and remind me again, since when does Moroccan cuisine cook with wine? Never. In conclusion, this place sucks! Defamation to the Moroccan cuisine and culture.
This is a really fun and interesting Moroccan restaurant. The food is very interesting and spicy. The decor is exotic and dimly lit, and you can have a hookah if you wish. I recommend getting all the starters and a hookah
The place is nice, very dark for a restaurant (sometimes you cant see everything on your plate). We had a bad experience there. The place is so nice, everything looks good but the bad smell that came from a waitress was disgusting. Were sure that this guy doesnt take a shower in a few weeks. If the waitress smell like that and hes part of the presentation of the restaurant we cant imagine how the kitchen staff will be.
The best place ever! I went there to celebrate my bday. Great vibes & music, very nice staff, Hamid was taking care of our table.The food was excellent!!!Thank you guys for a lovely evening ☆
This place doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Really, if you are considering going.. DON’T! I have never seen such a messy and unprofessional place in NYC. The place is a bit dodgy; when we arrived the waitress was unfriendly... it took a while to take our order, when she finally did she didn’t take notes. Almost an hour later they brought some food, that it wasn’t what we ordered; we told her, 10 min later she took it off and literally served it to the next table!!As a highlight, the waitress asked us to cancel the reservation we made on OpenTable, as they were going to get charged $5 per person.. first time i hear a restaurant ask for something like this... anyways, Another half hour passed and finally they brought our food, from the 4 dishes we ordered one was NOT what we ordered. We didn’t even bother to change it, as probably was going to take another hour.The food was overcooked; a vegetable tagine the bottom was burned.Maybe the only good thing this place has was the belly dancer.. but is not worth the visit!This is a pricy, terrible service, terrible food place.. again, I’m still shocked that a place like this operates in NYC!
Hamid is the best!!! The food was awesome!! The presentation was great as well with steaming clay pyramid shaped serving dishes. Nice dark atmosphere with pillows and cushions, very comfortable. They had great middle eastern / Bollywood style music. We were visiting from Florida where morrocan food is nonexistent. We had such a great time. I wish I could give 10 stars! Thanks so much Hamid for a great night!
I gave it three stars because of the unfriendliness of the staff. They seemed uninterested. This was my first time there, I told them the same, but the staff was busy in people who they knew already to be regular customers. Plus they are way OVERPRICEDThe food was good. The tagine was great. Tasted awesome. They give bread with it and it was very fresh as well.
My fiancee and I had an excellent time at Tagine. The food was delicious; we shared a maaquda appetizer, which were these little fried potato dumplings with a delicious sauce that I suspect was chickpea-based. When it took a little longer than they preferred, they brought out some olive in charmoula to tide us over - we hadnt even commented on the time. The lamb casablanca practically fell off the bone, the bastilla was rich and beautiful, and the baklava was not the Greek version I was used to, but a more subtle and flavorful version without being overly sweet.Overall, it was a great experience. I would certainly agree with all the comments that this is definitely a place to sit and take your time , which is in keeping with the Mediterranean culture and what it takes to cook a proper tagine. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating - we had one young lady who was clearly our server, but at one point my fiancee commented that it felt like we had three because everyone was so attentive.
This place is beyond horrible. We went for the experience and the atmosphere, but the service was so bad that made me wonder how the hell is this place still operating!! The waitresses are so slow and rude. It took them forever to attend to our table and we kept waving for them to come and as if they are blind they pass by us like they never saw us. When we finally got service, my girlfriend asked for a drink and I asked for water as I want to order dinner. The waitress loudly and with a surprised tone said Just water!!. Of course after that they ignored us for another half hour until we had to get help from some manager (older lady who was checking on table). IN addition to all that there was some sort of unpleasant smell around the place! And the waitresses had oily hair and appeared unhygienic! At the end I understood why they dont care about good service. Because 18%tip already included in the bill and they have the gut to ask for additional tip! To make it worse; for one meal that we shared and one drink we paid over $80!! Really..
Really good Moroccan food. I had lamb borek, lamb tangine and chicken couscous from here. They were really tasty and flavorful. The staff were friendly and pleasant. I would recommend this place for its food, though I would say its bit pricey.
Almost everything was great. The food was fantastic, but the tagine is about 1000 degrees when served. The drinks are fantastic. Service is pretty good, the bartender was very accommodating. BE WARNED they use instant coals on the hookah.
If you are looking for an authentic Moroccan cuisine in a welcoming place then this is the place to be. their Lamb Tagine (that I had) was exquisite not to forget the freshly home-made bread. and they have belly dancers almost every day and a variety of live music.I would highly recommend this place.
WOW! This place was NOT what I expected and surpassed every expectation for the night. The food was to die for - so flavorful and many vegetarian and gluten free options and lots of varieties! There was live music and belly dancing, and very attentive wait staff. I cannot wait to go back. The burek and fried veggie balls will be on my craving list forever.
An oasis of calm in the hectic desert of NYC. Great atmosphere; low lighting with plenty of cushions and interesting decor. Live music that makes the mood. Waitress recommended a good wine when our choice was out. Nice high quality hookah.
The place is cool and hookah was nice. But when we took the bill, we saw 20% of grattitude added to the price and plus they were still expecting for the tip. Very expensive and bad service. If you are just looking for hookah, there are nicer places. I would suggest to check other places first.
Don’t go to this place! Worst service ever and the quality of food was terrible. We ordered a lamb tagine and the meat was served cold. We mentioned this to the server and they still charged us despite having complained and left most of the dish untouched! My brother also had a very strong stomachache followed by nausea. If you care about your health, please avoid this restaurant.
Disappointed. When we got in the atmosphere was great and we were excited. However thats where it ended. Service was very slow, it took almost 30 minutes and asking twice to get the drinks we ordered. Additionally food was slower, the spicy chicken tangine was good the other spring lamb dish was kind of bland. Dessert was bland as well. What annoyed me the most was they automatically added a 20% gratiuity to the bill despite the slow service. Also there was an $8 per person charge for entertainment. The entertainment was great, but i just wished they had would have been upfront about that charge. It was not mentioned any where nor where we informed upon seating and ordering.Overall it was an ok experience, but definitlely not worth what it cost.
Its the place if you know how to have fun. I love it.Such great memories in Tajine. Place to come with your date or partner and have amazing time.I miss Merissa. God bless her.Hamid is the owner very friendly.
Im not sure what the actual job of the girl who waited our table usually is, but I dont think it was waiting tables. She spilled beer and didnt ever clean it up. She doesnt know what a pastry is and that a tagine isnt one. She offered us extra bread and then didnt bring any bread at all with the appetizer. Maybe she dances well. Maybe theres another business in the back. Can someone check on her? Is she okay? Maybe its just not really supposed to be open at 3:30pm. The lamb entrees werent bad. Star for that.
The first thing you notice on entering this hidden jewel is the atmosphere of welcome and calm. The owner greets everyone with sincere pleasure. The feel of the place is Morocco. Then you smell the food cooking.First, order the sampler of three appetizers which are served with warm bread and harissa. Then pick any of the tagines to share. I would recommend the lamb meatballs. The food is brought out smelling divine. Hot steamy and sizzling. Absolutely delicious. Make sure you gst some extra bread to soak up the sauce.A wonderful meal served by remarkably friendly people.Go now!
First time i was here the staff was great. Very friendly. But today they had a small private party of 20 people. Although 80% of the tables were still empty we didnt get good service at all. And the lady i assume is the owner was very unfriendly. I guess they dont care about 2 customers when there are more than 10 in the restaurant.
Lovely place, quite reasonable and lovely scrumptious food!!!! Our host Smruti went out of her way to make sure all our demands were met and we enjoy the experience completely. Will definitely visit again!!!!!
!!!Take this advice before you enter!!!!1: you will waist your money.2: you will receive something you didn’t order so they can make extra money. And when you’ll say didn’t ask for it, they will pretend is just mistake. I got Hookah even didn’t ask for it.3: The food was the most expensive and disgusting. The Tajin was made by Soup (Harrira) didn’t how they got this recipe.4: the house man or the boss or whoever was unpleasant unprofessional.5: Last not least they charge me 18% of the tab as tip, didn’t see it.The real Moroccan food is way better then your food. Quit Quit.Just a friendlier advice DON’T EAT in that restaurant.
My experience at Tagine was 100% amazing.I took my Algerian girlfriend there for dinner.The atmosphere was so welcoming.The table next to us was also very pleased.It was her birthday and they even sang Happy Birthday Moroccan style.The Chicken Cous-Cous was delicious especially with the chermoula and bread.I would definitely recommend a friend to dine here.I will be back on my birthday to try more dishes.
Tagine is by far, the most wonderfully welcoming experience I have had in NYC. Every time I visit, I feel like Im part of the family, greeted with enthusiasm and charm, taken care of, and at home. The food is heart warming and delicious and the all night dance party and hooka takes me back in time to the ways in which we were able to sit back, relax, and lose all track of time.And wonderful place to be, wont you say? So bring your caravan by for a night to remember and dont forget to throw your cares away to the desert winds...
Good decoration, the atmosphere feels like you in Marrakech , COUSCOUS is GREAT ,Worth the 26$ priceIm upset for two reasons first they put a middle Eastern music instead of Berber Moroccan North African music its a shame ,since the owner Hamid is a Berber himself !!Second , their wines are overpriced , I had one glass of red wine ( really cheap taste ) they charged me 16$ for it ( honestly 4$ is the max I can pay for such cheap wine ).
Great Food, Good Shisha, VERY Slow Service!
Me and my hubby had lunch there last weekend and the food was amazing! The staff was friendly and recommended great food and drinks for our first time having Moroccan cuisine!
Great cous cous royale. Very friendly owner and manager. Nice atmosphere. Used to be on 9th several years ago and was a good place then but a little run down maybe. The location now is much nicer and theyve improved the presentation on the food a lot as well. Some good vegetarian and vegan options too.
Tagine is a wonderful place. I have DJd there numerous times and always a pleasure to work with Marisa and Hamid to make the night special for everyone. The food is fantastic, the performers beautiful, and the crowd exciting. Definitely go there :)
Amazing. My absolute favorite place in all of NYC. The food is delicious, the restaurant is beautifully designed, and the staff are so kind. I already cant wait until my next visit at Tagine! HIGHLY recommend, if I could give 6 stars I would.
Service was good, nice environment. The food was really good! The servers were also nice. Overall if youre in Manhattan I would recommend coming here if you want to try something good, new and exotic!
Very friendly staff, an amazing belly dancer, great food and music.
Fancy place, high priced menu. Food looked pretty and fancy but was bland, nothing special for the high price. Did not taste like real Moroccan cuisine. Semolina bread was great though.
The food was really good.
Tagines is one of those places that you can just go to and chill out and have a GUARANTEED GOOD TIME! The crowd is always fun loving and the ambiance is out of this world. It like...when you walk in, you are no longer in the rat race of NYC!If you love to be entertained, you will love love love Tagines! They have live music and dancers all the time! The bands that play there are extremely talented and cater to all different types .... so good to finally have a diverse place. There are super beautiful Belly Dancers that really know how to WOW a crowd and they are also very engaging beauties! And OHHH the costumes!!!An enchanting night is not without good food! I have not heard anything bad about ANY menu item! Close your eyes and put your finger on an item...its gonna be good! As a dancer, I have only had appetizers, but even those were phenomenal!! This was my first taste of fine Moroccan dining and I love love it to pieces!Taginess is easy to get to, and parking is free after 7pm. However if you drive, still check those tricky signs ;-. Anyway, it is an eclectic neighborhood and very inviting!!I hope to be there soon!**hearts**
I wonder how they hire their waiters and employees cuz its the best staff ive ever met. More than friendly, a family for everyone whos going to this place even the first day. They serve a very traditionnal best cuisine in the world(Moroccan and North African food). Ive been in too many places in new York but this place is my favorite. The best, the most friendly that I have to recommand to all Americans and tourists in new York. God bless tagine first and America second.
As a native New Yorker, Ive eaten everywhere...Ive sampled Cuisines from ALL cultures...looking for a taste of Moroccan? Tagine stands ALONE!...Its one of the very few restaurants that leaves me with the desire to keep coming back for more...The Menu is out of this world...It always takes me so long to decide what to order because the cuisine is outstanding!...I intend to sample EVERYTHING on the menu...the food is just that fabulous...Theres a variety of evening entertainment as you dine...Musicians from all cultures, Professional Belly Dancers, and the ambiance is just to die for...Its very relaxing as you dine as well, you have the option of sitting on various styles of soft couches that one just melts into...the staff is exceptionally courteous...everything about this place is just mesmerizing...I LOVE IT!......~ Lou Galarza
One of the best place i ever been too, service is more than excellent, foood iss sooo deleciouss you wont want to finish. Their sangriaa is mouth-watering. We had a great time i will definitly go back again and will recommend my friends
I just had a wonderful dinner for the first time at Tagine! Our server Agnes was so attentive, and the chef made it feel like such a personal and welcoming experience, offering us recommendations and explaining the traditional Moroccan foods to us. I had the lamb tagine kefka, which was so savory and delicious, and for dessert the sweet honey letters. For drinks, Id recommend the desert sunset if you like screwdrivers or mimosas! Be sure to ask for the mint tea to finish things off; its the perfect way to end a meal.Ill definitely be returning!
Food was good but the service was very awful. Forgot our original order and had to come back, then forgot to bring some of the things wed ordered, never checked on us but had no problem adding a 20% tip on to the bill. Seemed very overpriced due to the poor service.
The food is completely worth it. I wouldnt expect to be out quickly - but order some tea, have some hookah and stay for an authentic experience.
Very poor service. Went there for dinner by myself.Ended up waiting for the server for about 10 minutes. Besides not bringing menu,they didn’t even pour water into my glass. They started twisting around new table of 5-6 people. After being ignored I just left. I guess they didn’t even notice how i left or they didn’t care. I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone where they treat you as if you are worthless.
Food is good but service is terrible. Waitress didnt ask us if we need anything else, didnt refill our water, or even gave us new plates for the second dish...i felt so neglected and annoyed.
I love this place the food and atmosphere, marissa treats her guest like royalty ,Ive had many birthday parties there and Ive recommend a lot of ppl and they loved it.the food the belly dancing and hookah makes you feel as if your in morrocco so come down and enjoy you wont regret it ❤💋
Waited for 20 minutes and werent even served water or asked for drinks. Tried to order at the bar and the bartender walked away. Music speakers crackled and the music changed volume. Waitress was eating at the bar instead of serving. We walked out
My husband and I happened on This gem a year ago . We planned our NYC trip to dine there again. Was just as wonderful as before . God I’d eat there every week if I could. BRAVO x
Excellent Morrocan Restaurant. After spending a day in the city with my family I invited them to have dinner at Tagine, for my family this was their first time eating at a Morrocan restaurant...They loved the food, the ambiance and the great entertainment!!! I order Chicken Tagine, it was so delicious.and the House Salad and bread were yummy!! We will definitely go back.
The best Morrocan place in NY! I always have the most amazing night every Friday and so much fun!!! It is such a cool vibe, waitress are awesome and the food is the best one! Come to join with me to dance all night every Fridays!
Perhaps I am not much of a fan of Moroccan food. It was nice, but only a one time experience for me. I really appreciate the service of the staff however!
The food we had was just...bland. No flavor. And yet the prices are...kind of high. If youre looking for a good Moroccan meal, dont go here.
Food took forever.Loud music I couldnt hear a thing.Worst and most expensive hookah.Very small and awful disgusting bathroom and place.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME/money.
Support local businesses that are managing to stay open despite the covid crisis. Hamid always has a warm smile and good food.
Very dirty. The worst experience ever. I even paid without touching the food or drink. DIRTY
So amazing. Great food. Great staff. Hookah is good but they use quick light coals. Otherwise, I love it!
Good place, attracts a variety of crowd. But the reason for 4 stars is the belly dancers show. Generally at 8pm but call in advance to check.
Dark and spacious place. Many hookahs to go around and plenty to drink and eat. It is definitely a place to check out if you like hookah.
Best restaurant ever the hookah are amazing the staff are really friendly specially Ange , Marisa and Hilda shes amazing !! they so friendly and attentive !!! morocan foods are mind blowing, Billy dancers! !! check it out!!
The drinks and hookah are great! The food is overpriced. Ex. French fries $10 (nothing extra)
The atmosphere is lovely. The belly dance was good. The food is generic. The service was non existent.
Terrible!!! I think is thw worst restaurant in NYC. The owner was extremely rude, this person dont know nothing about customer service. And look so dirty, please if you wanna go to a good restaurant please never try this place, NEVER!
Nobody picks up the phone when you call they text you when you try to make reservations. Made reservations online. I was told to cancel. If this is service before you go there then the low ratings below must be true also. Smh
Toni is the man! Good prices especially for happy hour. Very friendly staff. Hidden Gem for sure
The drink I had was not good, the music was all over the place and the hookah was burnt. Weird place. For it to be a hookah place, no one else came there for that.
Best Moroccan Food! Amazing service hookahs..belly dancing..live music..!! all in one place, I definitely recommend.Must try!
Great hookah place with great food! The Lamb Casablanca Tagine is to die for. A great place to relax after a long week from work.
I have been in new york for the whole week... And i have been dinning eveeywhere till tonight tagine restau is exceptional... Excellent service staff qent beyond the best... I will keep coming ... Owners really care about their customers... Prices in new york is really cheap compared to other places i have been to thank you tagine and thanks to Sabina and Sinia.
A waitress spilled tea 6 times and didnt even apologize. At the end of the evening the lights were very bright and the music was insanely loud.
Tagine is the best! Live entertainment while you dine, Belly Dancers, Live Musicians & vocalist and the staff is Kind and Courteous I highly recommend stopping in for a bit to eat and drink one of NYC Hidden Gems
The food was delicious and the restaurant has a decent ambiance but the prices is completely ridiculous compared with the food portions
Very cozy Morrocan place. Nice and stylish, loved it!
Too loud, awful music, I could barely speak to my party at my table and escorts & strange men just hanging around. weird vibe. not my thing!
Horrible service, pricy food. Not worth going, do yourself a favor and save your money. Waiters smell and dont care about customers. Worst experience ever
Great place for good Moroccan food and hookah... waitress was pretty good and very friendly.
Good food, service friendly as well as owners. Live entertainment with belly dancing. Good selection of hookah
The staff is nice and the tagines are super tasty. The hookah is probably the most expensive in town and not worth it at all.
You will have to wait over 45 minutes to get your meal. Not good for groups. The food is also over priced.. Avoid at all cost..
Great atmosphere! Incredible food and hookah. I will definitely be back!
VERYYYYY LAID BACK, FEELS ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE DOING YOU A FAVOR IN GETTING SERVICE FOR YOU. IT HONESTLY FELT A LITTLE ICKY IN THERE, THE SOFAS AND PILLOWS LOOKED DINGY. THE RESTROOM WAS ALSO VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AS FAR AS CLEANLINESS. FOOD: WE ORDERED A LAMB LEG IN WHAT LOOKS TO BE LIKE A CLAY VOLCANO (LOL) WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD, WE ALSO ORDERED A POTATO APPETIZER, DONT RECALL THE NAME, WHICH WAS REALLY GOOD. TEA WAS GOOD TOO. WOULD I GO BACK, PROBABLY NOT.
Food was good. Shisha was subpar. Service was absolutely dreadful. Just because of the service I wouldnt come back again. Super slow. Unfriendly.
Food was good but hookah was not. Taking off stars because I saw a roach running on the seat
Great staff, walked in around 11pm stayed till 4am. One of the better nights ive had in a long time. Definitely recommend!
Walked in at 4;10 and they tell me it’s closed .. but the website says 5 am ... hostess is yelling at me from the bar we are closed but signs are on and door says yes we are open .. boycott this place and let them shut down .. worst customer service ever .. drive from Boston tonight and only this place showed up as being open until 5 am and yet they lie .. rude liers who were just angry
Amazing experience, friendly staff, nice atmosphere
Shoved us into a hot corner when the entire place was basically open. Strange vibe. Didnt bother to look through menu place was so off putting.
I love it there and the atmosphere it’s amazing and Fatima she is the best helped me a lot with the menu 👍👍
A little pricey but good food and the belly dancing shows were great.
Overpriced food. Unbelievably Dirty disgusting restrooms. Average service. I am not coming again for sure.
Relaxing Environment, Nice People, Fun To Sit Back And Chill, And Smoke Hookah!! Enjoyed My Self!
Great middle eastern ambiance. Shisha is above average. Moroccan coffee is authentic.
Good place for having Moroccan food and glass of wine while having belly dancers perform.
The ambience was very good with nice music ..and the hostesses were amazing and very warm. Would love to go there again..
Horrible service. Place half empty yet nobody checking the front so waited for ever to get seated, after 20 mins nobody took order, let alone brought water or checked in on the table. Had to walk out.
Food is ok Staff was really good very friendly but way to overpriced.my paid she was not happy
Best quality of Moroccan foodHosting peopleAdmirable musicWill definitely come here again if I came back to New York
Tagine Casablanca was excellent plus we had a great belly dance show.
Never again, been here 3 times and all 3 was the worst place in New York city, over priced for that place and no kind of customer service from nobody. Avoid. I love the middle Eastern and this is not good place.
Come here for spicy food, leave if you want good hookah, stay for the belly dancers and kooky live band.
Way overpriced and kind of a creepy vibe...though the food was decent. Definitely wont be returning.
Very accommodating & great hospitality. Great vibes! Good quality hookah
Mezze appetizer was great. The taglines were served bubbling hot & were delicious.
The atmosphere and service were great. The food was delicious.
Lamb traditional was excellent, meat fell off the bone, soft and delicious.
The food was too expensive and the hookah is for 30$ !?? that was ridiculous for a place like trash. I am not kidding
Very disappointed, the food is not good and service also . The place is not so clean too
Highly Recommend. Great price for great food! Warm atmosphere.
Very Nice Restaurant in the heart of Manhattan with cozy Atmosphere and friendly staff!
Spent a great evening here with my partner. Great atmosphere and bar staff
Small Moroccan place offering native food and hooka. A little overpriced.
Fantastic atmosphere. Good food and super friendly service
Great atmosphere , very tasty food i recomend it. Thanks for the hospitality
Delicious food , slight language barrier with the server but nothing serious. Overpriced beef short rib but very tasty
One of my go to spots for hookah, like the relaxing atmosphere.
Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Had a great experience and would highly recommend.
Amazing delicious food, but service is always a little wacky ...
I would not eat here even if the meal was free I thought I would get bedbugs have a set on the furniture I use the bathroom and was afraid of hepatitis
Great Dancer Neva at Tagine, food and atmosphere was excellent making a great night out.
Food was fantastic, very polite and respectful Staff
Drinks are expensive and people there are stuck up unless youre from India (then theyre very nice and indulgent)
Reasonable prices. Delicious food. A lot of fun. Colorful inside.
Super tender clay pot lamb tagine. Friendly and efficient server. Would go again.
Bit over priced and service was super slow. Hookah was good.
Worst place ever. It was dead and they still had the nerve to charge 30 bucks for hookah
Delicious lamb and vegetarian tagines! We were very happy.
Excellent service and music. Soraya was very attentive, plus she sings fado.
The worst customer service, the staff even dont pay attention if you’re gonna order or not, even we had to ask her twice to take our order !!!!! Never go back again!!!
Anyone loves Morrocan food should must come here
Good service and good food. Not a big fan of their hookah.
Lively atmosphere, delicious exotic cuisine and live entertainment every night!
Nice food, good atmosphere and excellent service.
Awesome food in a pseudo Modern Moroccan environment👍
Expensive, ok food, horrible music, ok belly dancer.
Fantastic sangria, great quality hookah and immersive atmosphere
They rent out the place to private parties too much. Didnt expect that to happen on Saturdays.
Waitied 35 mins to get hookah... guess what??!! its sux and overpriced..
Great food. Love the entertainment
Wonderful people would love to go back and enjoy another time there
Great place , great food, had a really good time. Thank you.

2020-11-29This was the best morrocon food we have ever had! A very dramatic serving of sizzling beef and lamb stew poured by the Chef in earthen pots at table made for a very memorable Thanksgiving shot. Special shot out to the gracious host!Making plans already to be back here again.

2018-12-24Very disappointed. Came in for a hookah and a chill atmosphere. The decor was cute (albeit a bit dirty so I chose not to eat there), so I was initially excited. But the hookah was extremely overpriced and had limited flavor options. They didnt pack the shisha well either, it burned within minutes. For the price (which I would have willing paid), I expected a really nice hookah. But it was the basic one with no fruit bowl or ice hose, not worth $20 much less the $35 I paid.I also ordered a drink which was delivered half full and watered down. The picture I attached is how the drink was given to me. After having to send back the hookah I was too annoyed to bother with the drink so I just counted it as a $14 loss and left.

2020-10-16This was hands down the most delicious meal Ive had in a very long time. It was prepared in a matter of a home cooking but have the Finger licking presentation.!!!!👍🏻 I loved everything about this place. Starting with most welcoming staff which provided warm and cozy atmosphere . The place itself is not too big and it creates a very cozy ambiance and comfy seats, perfect for casual day out or for night I would with a special someone. This is definitely going to be my number one choice !!!

2021-10-28Food is great at this place. Lighting is perfect for intimacy or just a chill vibe. It’s always very clean, and they have a great atmosphere. Music varies.

Review №8
2018-11-22When you walk in you will be overwhelmed by the atmosphere, it is very cool, and the music is great. the food is also just delicious. however, beware of the hostess/waitress/bartender. she is incompetent and indifferent. she is slow, she poured my drinks incorrectly, didnt know what the various dishes were (important with cuisine you are not familiar with) and misunderstand policy about the restaurant . com coupon I asked her about, and when there was an issue when I was paying, became combative. somehow, it was still worth it!

2017-12-17Went there for my wifes birthday, the staff was more than willing to make our experience the best that it could be. My wife danced with the Belly dancer and had the time of her life. The food was delicious, I recommend the lamb Casablanca. It was so perfectly cooked that the meat was succulent and just fell off the bone. If all this was not enough they sang happy birthday to my wife and brought out a delicious desert at my request. Beautiful night❤

2016-04-28I rarely write reviews but this restaurant deserves it. As a Moroccan myself I can attest that the food is truly authentic and delicious. I enjoyed my Couscous Royal, which was almost as good as my mothers couscous. Prices on the menu are decent, service is very friendly, a little slow but thats because they were super busy. The entertainment was awesome, they had a band playing music from Zimbwabe, and a professional belly dancer. This restaurant would have been one of my favorite hang out spot have I not lived out of state!
